During the recent Children's Day celebrations in Portugal, the secondary school José Gomes Ferreira, in partnership with Portuguese Safer Internet Centre (SIC), developed three training sessions directed to a total of 400 students.
 
Throughout these sessions different topics were covered, including:
  • Understanding the risks and optimising different social networks;
  • Identifying risks underlying sexting practices, revenge porn and grooming;
  • Analysing risks involved in the use of online games;
  • Analysing the risks and solutions to prevent/solve online safety issues.
Also during the day, Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia launched a mini game in video format on YouTube. This mini game, directed at all Portuguese children, promotes the Portuguese Safer Internet Centre app called ‘INES - Batalha do Ciberespaço' (INES - Cyberspace Battle in English). You can watch/play it here. The Portuguese SIC intends to translate this video to English shortly.
